Headed to the southern part sounds like such a divine trip! Any recommendations of experiences to have over there?

Wooah a solid nice long vacation, very nice. Where's the black hole? I've heard of friends who go to hot springs in Oregon after the burn.

Sort of, same camp, moved a little bit to 6:30 & C.

Where will you be staying?

BLOB_CASTLE  ·  582 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Burning Man 2022 Roll Call

Yes certainly for your 55th! This will be my last burn for a while as I'm planning to move to Europe next year, but I'd come back for a goobs 55th

What were you doing out in Oregon? I looked up the terrain and it looks very beautiful. I used to live in Fossil, high desert but not quite that desert

This year I've been planning to visit the 2:00 side of K, I haven't spent much time in that area but am feeling called to it

Not required!

BLOB_CASTLE  ·  646 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: First US Apple Store Unionizes

The very rich in this country don't like the idea of making less money, so unions are very much suppressed. The path of least resistance to getting all of Apple unionized is for stores to unionize individually and then from there to expand to a collective union.

BLOB_CASTLE  ·  646 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: First US Apple Store Unionizes

Yes you're correct about the "superunion." Most stores are organizing under the Communication Workers of America, though Apple Towson used Machinists Union’s Coalition of Organized Retail Employees.

I haven't gotten into vr painting yet...

The Oculus 2 is looking pretty thiqq tho

Earlier this year I shared that I completed my first stone sculpture.

My first marble sculpture is in progress, I'm probably about 35 hours into that project.

Fortunately there's an importer/exporter of fine stones about 45m from where I live and was able to buy a 184lb block of white Carrara statuario marble from him.

BLOB_CASTLE  ·  686 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: My first orchestral composition was performed by a college ensemble

Gratifying for sure, especially to be there in person. I was also able to attend a couple of the rehearsals which was a very fun process. It was nice to talk with the students about the composition, and show them that composers aren't all old white dudes (I'm Latin and 30).

BLOB_CASTLE  ·  691 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Supreme Court has voted to overturn abortion rights, draft opinion shows

What I haven't heard anyone talk about yet is the idea that this draft opinion will move the United States that much closer to breaking up into several countries.

Maps have emerged of states that will or will not allow abortion to any degree. These maps show swaths of states clumped together that will likely vote one way or another.

Imagining that the instability of this country would thus devolve into a breakup, should we assume/believe these maps will predict how the United States will divide itself?

For the record, I'm all for the United States breaking up into many (50?) smaller countries. The idea that Washington DC should govern LA (approx. 2700mi) or even Honolulu (approx. 4800mi) is as absurd to me as London governing NY (approx. 3500mi).

(particularly interested in kleinbl00's thoughts)
